Leading Chinese and European experts are meeting in Berlin on Tuesday for the 2024 China-Europe Seminar on Human Rights.

The topic for the meeting, where views from China and Europe will be shared, is on the protection of new and emerging rights.

The experts will hold in-depth discussions on topics such as social rights and economic inequality, the intersection of digital technologies and human rights sustainability — covering the balancing of the rights of individuals, society and nature.

This year's meeting is hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies, based in Beijing, and Central South University, based in Changsha, capital of Central China's Hunan province. Event organizers include Central South University's Human Rights Center and the Berlin-based German and Chinese Culture Foundation (Stiftung Deutsche und Chinesische Kultur), with the support of Germany's University of Munster and the Paris-based International Institute of Philosophy.

Launched by the China Society for Human Rights Studies in 2015, the China-Europe Seminar on Human Rights has become a platform for human rights dialogue and communication between China and Europe.

Since 2015, the seminar has been held in various European and Chinese cities, including Strasbourg in France, Bruges in Belgium, Amsterdam, Vienna, Rome and Chongqing in Southwest China.
